It might be less about health and more about the fact that low-quality bacon is almost all fat.

Yeah, this is really what you'd determine comparing brands. The mega brands like hormel, oscar mayer, etc will almost always have massively imbalanced fat proportions, and a lot of the time the smaller, or more expensive brands will be a lot closer to even. Fat's delicious in bacon, but it needs the muscley bits to hold it's own and not taste like chewing on lard.
