There should be a little flap at the back that you can lift and look at the bacon from that side as well. At least they used to.
I’ll be in a grocery store today, I’m sure, so I’ll check and report back. CB’ers need to know!

Our intrepid reporter on the scene reports that the flap has, at some point (probably years ago), been replaced by a see-through little window for viewing the fat-to-lean ratio of the bacon! Scandalous!

Oscar Meyer isn't that good in the U.S. either. Luckily our supermarket carries lean, thick cut bacon from smaller companies that is pricey but excellent.

Forum GOD!
Wright bacon is quite good and I think it's sold nationally, not sure.
I don't think we ever had a back flap in the UK.
I can get Oscar Mayer and Plumrose in plastic packs. However, there's a local company called La Monserratina that makes their own smoked bacon, and the stuff is 5,000 times better than the industrialised stuff . It's way cheaper, too.

Speaking of "unhealthy" bacon, I, at least, try to get it as low sodium whenever possible. It doesn't taste as salty as the regular bacon does.
