Obviously, you cannot trust Oscar Mayer bacon! Comes the dawn.
From the photos you posted, the strips of bacon look just fine to me, but then I grew up raising hogs, selling to market and often butchering one for ourselves. Bacon is just a smoked pork belly, cut into strips for frying, etc. As such, it is rarely that "lean" and is majority fat, not meat. Getting very lean bacon is uncommon.
You get what is sliced at the processing plant. Prior to buying a package, take a look at the bacon strips by opening the flap on the reverse of the package or look at them if the package is clear plastic. You can see what the strips look like, eg., lean or not before you buy that package. Given the high cost of bacon nowadays, it is a wonder they still sell alot of it.
Personally, I prefer "side pork", the unsmoked version of pork belly fried up with garlic salt and pepper.
The fatter the better and nice, thick slices like we used to make on the farm. You can sometimes feel your arteries clogging up.
